Mori no Kuma-san, Toumin-chuu. Episode 4

Oh boy, where do I even start with this one? So, we’ve got Airi and Nowa, two characters who seem to have more emotional baggage than a soap opera. Airi’s all like, “Hey, Nowa, let’s make love because Kou said it’s cool,” and Nowa’s like, “Uh, okay, but also, I’m confused about whether we’re parent-and-child or lovers?” Yeah, it’s a real head-scratcher. The sex scene is… well, it’s there. Airi’s got the moves, I guess, but the whole “I love you so much” dialogue feels like it was ripped straight out of a cheesy romance novel. And don’t even get me started on the emotional rollercoaster of Nowa wanting to go back to an island to avoid getting too attached. Spoiler alert: they’re already attached. Like, super attached. The plot tries to balance awkward family dynamics with steamy moments, but it mostly just leaves you wondering if anyone involved has ever had a normal conversation. Oh, and there’s a random bakery subplot that goes nowhere. Classic. If you’re into messy relationships and questionable life choices, this one’s for you. Otherwise, maybe skip it and go bake some bread instead.
